Simple thought on the Secret Service

[bottomofthehill]

They should focus on their primary roll. Protecting the President of the United States. Enough of the NSSE bullshit, the Super Bowl, baseball All-Star game, the Emmys. Whatever the fuck they are up to cut it out until you have your primary function in order, PROTECTION......that simple. Get that right, then go back to counterfeiting and credit card fraud, but for now, get the big stuff right. Stop looking for the next big job with the NFL, NBA, Major League Baseball, Big Banks, focus on doing your job.

1. I agree.

I realize they are only human, but once upon a time they were some of the most fearsome group of folks in the world of law enforcement/security. What happened to them?

2. They were told to do too many things

And as a result, their ability to execute their primary function has suffered dramatically.
